Duke Reacts!

Seeing Busta come out at this year's VMAs was a special treat for myself and a lot of other old-school hip-hop heads. Brooklyn is in the building!

Reacting to Frank Zappa's 1979 classic "Bobby Brown Goes Down" off the Sheik Yerbouti record. Interesting choice of lyrics, that's for sure.

Gibby Haynes from the Butthole Surfers was a dope MC, he used a hip-hop style in many of his records including this one, the Surfers' biggest hit Pepper (1996) Enjoy CORRECTION: Gibby Haynes and the Butthole Surfers are from San Antonio, not Austin.

Awesome performance by Donald Fagen on lead vocals, with the rest of the band laying down a funky groove and fire guitar solos. Let me know what you think of this record in the comments below, enjoy,

Reaction video to the video for the Canadian band The Pursuit of Happiness and their 1988 classic "I'm An Adult Now". Lead singer Moe Berg has 4 verses of fury, plus a mandatory 1980s guitar solo. Straight up and down 🔥🔥.  Thanks to Vimeo for allowing us to record video reactions with the full screen. We had a system crash while recording the first take of this, but luckily Vimeo saved everything that was filmed before the malfunction and allowed me to record the rest of this reaction without missing a beat. Props to that software.

One of my favorite late 70s gems is "I'm Bored" by Iggy Pop from the 1979 record New Values. This is a very rare music video version, if you guys have not heard Iggy gotta check out the Stooges and his solo stuff from the 70s onward. He's still rocking harder than anybody out there to this day. There is only one Iggy, he is one of my strongest influences.

Reacting to Blues Traveler's Hook video from 1995, the original MTV edit. The song is a savage takedown of the MTV era, with a fire third verse where he turns up a little too hard to handle like the Black Crowes. Enjoy

On this day, Primus did not suck. Legendary performance at Woodstock 94 that I thought I would share with my viewers. The crowd was just awesome, enjoy.

Been waiting to get into this one for awhile. This is among Weird Al's finest works, paying tribute to the legacy and many musical styles of Frank Zappa. Enjoy

Reacting to Squeeze's 1987 video for "Hourglass". Reminds me of "Easy Lover", a long lost banger.
